Looking for Alibrandi (Chapter 2)

Looking For Alibrandi (Chapter two)

Plot Summary (key events that had happened):

In this chapter Sera manages to convince all the girls to get in her boyfriends car and he would drive them to school, which meant they where all late for school the sisters wait out side of school for girls to arrive and as Josies punishment she had to make a speech at have a say day. Josie is sitting next to Jacob Coote at the have a say day and they get talking but doesn't want people to see them talking.
Jacob asked Josie what she is going to be talking about which then makes him change his mind about what he is going to be talking about, she was impressed with his speech and the fact he remembered her from the lane when he bullied her. Josie has a weird relationship with Lee she is one of her most trusted friends although they pretend they have nothing in common but can talk for hours on any subject, they pretend they are on different level classes although they are both middle class scholarships and they will live identical futures.

Challenges faced by character(s) /information revealed about character (s):
Josie is late for school because Sera made her boyfriend take them to school and her punishment for that is speaking at have a say day 

Important quotations (supporting evidence):
'Josephine, you are so wonderful at making up stories, I'm sure you can handle it.'
this shows that Josie makes up stories to get herself out of trouble and she is also really good at debating so that is a bonus.
Personal response (what do you think the chapters were about):
I thought that this chapter was all about have a say day and Josie unravelled characters true identity. Such as her close friends and Jacob Coote.
